Does anyone know what a sparcstation IPC is? Is it worth $175.00? (It had four out of 8 SIMM slots on the right (looking from the back) filled in, and another four/4 on the left, and no hard drive.)

PDP-11/44 Frontpanel?

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

While talking to the local DEC guy (Mark Sherman, sells me all kindsa crap.) he mentioned that he recalled the 11/44 has 2 frontpanel options. One was the minimal panel I got, and the other was a calculator type panel. The interesting part was that the calculator frontpanel was detachable, so techs you get one to use with a machine ordered with the minimal panel. Is that true? Could I track one of these down anywhere? Or is this a simple thing to build? (I am dialed in at about 2400 baud. This is NOT fun... never saw how much Pine wants to refresh the screen until you have to wait about 1/2 sec for it to do so! I think from now on I'll use the command-line mailer...)

Anyone for 9-track-tape drives?

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

I have 3, and that's 1 more than I plan to keep (I think) 2 Cipher 6250s, and a 1550 (I think, it's the smaller version of a 6250). Anyone need one or two (Depending on which one's a TM02 or can become one or will at least boot the diag tapes I have. They're really heavy. And I have no real place to put them.

Mac Portable

by kaikal＠MICROSOFT.com

The battery charger is just 9VDC, but I hope you have a functional battery, since the Mac Portable will not run on the battery charger. There is no AC adapter. The batteries are lead-acid and tend to deteriorate over time. Eventually all of these machines will stop working. > -----Original Message----- > From: Uncle Roger [SMTP:sinasohn@crl.com] > Sent: Friday, October 10, 1997 4:14 PM > To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers > Subject: Mac Portable > > I picked up a Mac Portable today, but it had no power supply.

NeXT Cube

by mtapley＠swri.edu

>It's perfect cube shaped CPU all done in black.. My apologies in advance, for NeXTs are not yet classic, depending on how far one is willing to bend the 10-year limit...but soon, and this is a reasonably good time to collect them... NeXT's first (68030) computer had a processor box which was basically cube-shaped. The front had an opening for an optical drive (or two), there were vertical slots two on each side on the back, and there was a sort of small radiator-fin pattern around the sides and top. Also small feet on the bottom. The exterior finish was black except for connectors and markings (serial number, etc.) on the back and plain metal on the bottom. The processor box,display, keyboard, and mouse were finished in matching black. Very unique. Sounds sinister, but it actually is very nice to work in front of. Of the four slots on the back, one was full of the processor board, and the other three were generally empty. A NeXTDimension Card (color display driver and other stuff) could occupy one of the other three slots. It was possible to put seperate 030 or 040 cards into the empty slots with some modifications. These became standalone computers - the only communications to them were through the ethernet or serial ports on the back, and in fact they had to be set up to net-boot through the ethernet port. I'm not aware of any other boards designed to fit in the empty slots. Later NeXTs using 68040's at 25 MHz and at 33 MHz (Turbo) came in two styles: the Cube case, virtually undistinguishable from the older cube case, and a "Pizza box" case which went under the monitor. The "Pizza Boxes" were referred to as "NeXT Stations" (possibly with modifiers "Color" and/or "Turbo") rather than "NeXT Cubes" or "NeXT Computers". - Mark

Those pesky db15 ports

by fmc＠reanimators.org

CharlesII(a)nwohio.nwohio.com wrote: > I found out from a person in the area that low density DB15 > ports if not used for Ethernet are used for a VGA terminal. On NCR gear? News to me, but what do I know? Should you happen to run across NCR Tower serial ports on DA15 connectors, the adapter cable that brings this out to a male DB25 connector looks like this. Both hoods have the following molded into them: One side: TERMINAL 1308-C036-0152 The other side: 006-0089359 U.L. E40323 Ohming it out yields: DA15 DB25 1 - frame ground 1 ------ 3 2 ------ 5 3,12 ------ 4 4 ------ 6,8 9 ------ 2 10 ------ 20 11 ------ 7 I used to use this cable to hook up an HP 700/22 to an NCR Tower's console port. I can't remember whether I had it plugged into a null-modem-like thing or just a gender bender at the 700/22 end, but there must have been something there because both the cable and the terminal have male connectors. Hope this helps someone. -Frank McConnell

Somewhat trivial question

Anyone recall the "default date" that VMS does (or did) think it was, when the system clock wasn't set? Seems to me, it was somewhere in 1888, and there was a story behind the selection of the date.... Thanks! Will

IBM 3101 terminals

by Mzthompson＠aol.com

It wasn't until yesterday's topic of "Those pesky db15 ports" that I remembered a couple of terminals that I hauled home recently. The terminals have a DB15 for both the monitor and keyboard. Anyway, I hauled home a couple of IBM 3101 terminals. They consist of a base unit, a monitor, and a keyboard. From the ID tags they appear to be around 1980 vintage. I have not powered them up, but if anyone is interested in these I could probably run a quick test on them. Mike Thompson
